ConfusedBrit Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi All, I'm new to this site, i hope someone will be able to help me with this query. My partner is applying for his nominated skilled visa - 190 and being his de-facto partner i'm being included on it. I've been doing some research but cannot seem to find anything with regards to my rights for being on his visa. For example, as i will be on it, does this mean i can work? Or will i need to be sponsored by an employer to work? All the information i've found has been conflicting so i'm even more confused now!! Thanks in advance for any information!

NickyNook Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/visas/subclass-190/ DIAC say this: Entitlements This visa allows you and your accompanying family members to: live and work permanently in Australia study in Australia enrol in Medicare, Australia?s scheme for health-related care and expenses access certain social security payments (subject to waiting periods) apply for Australian citizenship (subject to residency criteria) sponsor relatives for permanent residence As a de facto partner you're treated no differently to the applicant. So, yes, you have work rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 On the SC190 both you and your partner will become Australian Permanent Residents, you will have full work rights. You will not need an employer to sponsor you or any special permissions to work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
